Show Review - Thursday, April 14. 1983 - Page 12 Boat harbor to suffer overuse, underwater The only boat harbor left that will be able to provide access to Utah Lake for a projected 30,000 boats over the coming summer season is also suffering daily abuse from rising waters abuse that other harbors around Utah Lake have suffered to a degree that has disqualified them as viable boat launch sites at least for this year. But before Lindon city can do anything to stop the erosion of the boat harbor in west Lindon, they must await approval of their lease application on the property from Utah State Land Board, owners of the marina. Orem recently relinquished their lease on the old Orem boat harbor and Lindon is seeking to take it up and maintain the harbor as a public recreation spot. However, while the city's reparative hands remain tied until the lease is approved, the land dike is slowly sinking beneath the rising waves. Buss Whitaker, Utah Valley Travel Council, recognizing the urgency of the problem in terms of revenue to the county this summer, is working hard to get material and crew lined up to build the dike back up if and when the lease agreement is approved by the State Land Board. Whitaker says Geneva Steel has agreed to provide slag for the repair project at no cost. The Travel Council is now seeking sanction from the Governor's office to use National Guard manpower to make the harbor useable. Whitaker says salvage of the launch site is critical to getting people on the lake this year and bringing a substantial revenue to the county. "Over 550,000 people went through the gate at the Provo Boat Harbor last year," he said. This year they estimate from one-ha- lf to a million tourists and water en thusiasts will potentially use the lake. The launch fee last year from the Provo harbor was $2.50 per boat "and that fee could reasonably go to $3.00 this year," said Whitaker. He said some 16,350 boats were actually put in the water in Provo last season and another 14,000 were launched from other sites around the lake. "Many of the people come from out of the county. They wait until they get close to the harbor before buying gas. This could mean about $300,000 being spent on gas alone in the county," Whitaker added. "Then there is the food they buy here. A lot of money is involved," he said. The State Land Board is scheduled to meet April 20 and it is expected that a decision will be made then on the lease agreement. A private individual has also applied for the lease in order to set up a search and rescue operation adjacent to the lake. 1 :.. ' f X ' ' ill i , MARILYN HARPER KENT FUGAL BRENUA WALKER ifI ( f , i4 V JAMES WATSON STEPHEN LIDDLE JEFF ALPIN Six scholars compete in state Sterling finais Six of the twelve Sterling Scholar candidates from Pleasant Grove High School are in the state final competition. State Sterling Scholars were named last night in a program televised on KSL at 7 p.m. The program was after press time and too late to get in this week's Review. The six students are Kent J. Fugal, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant K. Fugal who is a candidate in the area of mathematics; James Watson, son of Hazen and Sally Watson in visual arts; Marilyn Harper, daughter of Boyd and Carol Marie Harper, in business education; Jeff Olpin, son of Dee and Pauline Olpin, in the areao music; Brenda Walker, daughter! James and Marlene Walker, i homemaking education; am Stephen Liddle, son of Alfred an Jo Ann Liddle, in Genen Scholarship. The statistics are not handy h this must be some kind of arecor to have six state finalists from on school, especially from a sma school the size of Pleasant Gm High School. ' In addition, this high school ha . two students as finalists for tt coveted Spencer W. Kimba Scholarship, James Watson at Stephen Liddle. Steve was not! Monday night he had won onei the twelve Spencer W. Kimka Scholarships for boys. Those critics of the acadeni achievement of Pleasant Gro High School students should tal another look, perhaps. Steel firm moves to Lindon, sewer waste lines follow A steel fabricating firm is in the process of moving their operation to a new location in lower Lindon and in so doing will be bringing sewer lines to the west side of Geneva Road near Center Street for the first time. One of the problems Lindon has had to contend with in getting in-dustrial development in that area is lack of an adequate waste water system. Most of the industries located west of the railroad tracks now use septic tanks, but no further septic tanks are being allowed in the area because the water table is too high for them to work efficiently there. Thus, development has been literally curtailed because' of the high expense involved in extending the sewer lines any further in that direction. Clyde Olsen of Utah Pacific Steel came before council requesting approval to have the lines brought under the tracks to his property. Olsen plans to put up a new set of buildings to house the company's manufacture of such things as highway girders. "We will pay 100 percent of the cost but we want you to accept it as part of your municipal system," Olsen told the council. The council gave Olsen tentative approval for the line but the Plan-ning Commission has yet to grant a building permit. Olsen plans to meet with the Commission at their next meeting to request the permit and hopes to be in the new location by August. Bill Green, assistant city ad-ministrator, said the sewer line will probably be able to handle all property they privately own as far west as the freeway. The line may possibly be used by other industries in the future as well. The line will also put fire protection on the other side of the tracks. : Pageant names Brockbank director t David Oran Brockbank has been named producing director of Utah Pageant of the Arts, effective im-mediately, according to an an-nouncement by Betty N.

DAVID BROCKBANK Police investigate several thefts Lt. Paul said he had taken four students from , Pleasant Grove Junior High School into custody for possession of marijuana. Two of the youths were referred to juvenile court, Lt. Paul said. Tonya Dennis, 108 E. Center Street, told Pleasant Grove Police that her car stereo had been stolen. Lt.

Main - 785-233- 1 VV Locally owned and operated UVIDA computer unveiled at Provo open house The Utah County UVIDA office is located at 381 West 2230 North in Provo. Over 90 local mayors, councilmen, reporters, and board members attended an open house April 7 at the Utah Valley Industrial Development Association (UVIDA) office to witness the unveiling of their new computer which will help the mostly-volunte- organization in bringing industry into the valley. The open house was held also for the purpose of acquainting members of the organization with the resources available to them in getting industry into their cities. Most cities in the county are members of UVIDA. Lindon resident Ivan Walker, who is president of the association, was on hand to greet local officials and give them an insight into what help UVIDA can give them. UVIDA's budget for area-wid- e development is the second largest in Utah, surpassed only by Weber County, yet their most valuable tool, they state, is not the computer but the volunteer who makes phone calls to clients to tell them of new properties available and to make them feel welcome. UVIDA's task is to sort through several hundred prospects to find the few most likely to locate here. These clients are then turned over to member cities to work with. Each city has one of these volunteers. The group has put out a "slick paper" brochure called, 'Utah Shines' which gives prospective clients a profile of what advantages Utah has to offer in terms of location, natural resources, lifestyle, recreation, and an in-dustrious work force. Officer has busy weekend Weekend law offenders kept Lindon Police Officer Steve Payne busy as various arrests were made. On April 8, Officer Payne arrested Glen Titlestad, 20, for driving on a revoked license and with an expired registration. He was booked in county jail. April 10 four arrests were made by the officer. Just past midnight Of-ficer Payne arrested two men. Ralph Johnson, 26, Pleasant Grove, was taken into custody at Fred's Lounge and booked for public in-toxication. Jackie Ray Long, 27, Lindon, was charged with driving on a revocation. He was also booked in county jail. The following evening about 10 p.m. Officer Payne arrested Craig D. Smith, 25, and Sandy T. Martell, 23, in front of the Frontier Cafe on Geneva Road and charged them with possession of a controlled substance, i.e., marijuana. Smith posted bail and Martell was booked in county jail. Court acquits ex-teach- er Thomas Patten, a former teacher at Pleasant Grove High School, was acquitted Tuesday by a four member jury in Pleasant Grove City Court, of a charge of unlawful force using on another. The charges had arisen out of an occurence at the school in January which involved a student. |
